adventure cascadia disaster earthquake hispanic homeless interracial overweight pnw ptsd romance suspense tsunami veteran

Deep beneath the ocean, stretching hundreds of miles alongside the Pacific Northwest coastline, lies the Cascadia subduction zone-a fault on the verge of unleashing a catastrophic earthquake, thirty times more powerful than the San Andreas. Unfortunately, like most tourists, Elena Cordova is oblivious.

She's got her own pent-up stress to deal with, a humiliating breakup that's driven her to end her tenure as a human doormat once and for all. So, when a pickpocket makes off with the last remnant of her relationship, she takes action-only to get trapped with him when disaster strikes.

Now, if either one hopes to survive, they'll have to get past their initial impressions and work together... because in fifteen minutes, half the town will be underwater.All Rights Reserved

Song of Ashes by MinaParkes

A jealous, vengeful goddess. A ruined land. A woman alone, desperate to survive. When the goddess Kogoren was betrayed by one of her worshipers, she took out her rage on her realm. In her righteous anger, she shattered the continent, raised razor-sharp mountains from the earth, and turned clear streams into burning rivers of molten stone. Fire rained from the sky and ashes blanketed cities and fields. The eruption of the Queen's Crest, Kogoren's holy mountain, killed every one of her priests. The world ended that day. Kogoren's people prayed. They wept. And when no help nor mercy came, they were lost. The Cataclysm was many years ago, before Sarka was born. The broken land and the hopeless people who survived it are all Sarka has ever known. No one speaks of the goddess now; her dark legacy is a shadow over the starved realm that still bears her name, a place where the best one can hope for is to survive the day. One day, a brush with death grants Sarka tragic clarity: if she stays in Kogoren, she will live a half-life punctuated with danger, hunger, and pain. What if there is a world out there beyond the reach of the goddess who left her children to die? Cover by @Abyss-of-Crazy

Fault by kellybar84

When the most destructive earthquake in America's history happens just south of St. Louis, seventeen-year-old Fallon Connelly is already on shaky ground. Her mom's alcoholism caused her parents to split and now her dad is constantly on the road, trying to make enough money to pay child support. It's all for nothing anyway, since his money just ends up in her mom's liver. At the same time, Fallon's best friend Cal Dorsey starts to act on his feelings for her and she wishes like hell he'd leave their relationship alone. So when the fault line beneath their feet tears apart, without knowing the fate of her mom and barely escaping the inferno in her high school, she and Cal form a small group and set out on foot across a city in ruins. Fallon and Cal witness the backward-running Mississippi river, encounter city-wide panic that escalates into rioting, and examine what they really mean to each other. In the end, it'll take luck and a will to survive in order to make it home. Whatever home means.
